PREFACE 



X HE establishment of a Botanic Garden in the United 
States, as a repository of the native plants of this country, 
and as subservient to the purposes of medicine, agriculture, 
and the arts, is doubtless an object of great importance. 
Impressed with the advantages to be derived from an insti- 
tution of this nature, I have anxiously endeavoured ever 
since my appointment to the professorship of Botany and 
Materia Medica in Columbia College, to accomplish its 
establishment. Disappointed, however, in my first appli- 
cations to the Legislature of this State, soliciting their as- 
sistance in so expensive and arduous an undertaking, I re- 
solved to devote my own private funds to the prosecution of 
this object ; trusting, that when the nature of the institution 
should be better, and more generally known, and its utility 
fully ascertained, it would receive the patronage and sup- 
port of the public. 

Accordingly, in the year 1801, I purchased of the Cor- 
poration of the city of New- York, twenty acres of ground, 
situated on the middle road between Bloomingdale and 
Kingsbridge, and distant from the city about three miles 
and an half. The view from the most elevated part, is va- 
riegated and extensive, and the soil itself of that diversified 
nature, as to be particularly well adapted to the cultivation 
of a great variety of vegetable productions. The greater 

1 



vi PREFACE. 

part of the ground is at present in a state of promising 
cultivation, arranged in a manner the best adapted to the 
different kinds of vegetables, and planted agreeably to the 
most approved style of ornamental gardening. Since that 
time, an extensive conservatory, for the more hardy green 
house plants, and two spacious hot houses, for the preser- 
vation of those which require a greater degree of heat, 
the whole exhibiting a front of one hundred and eighty feet, 
have been erected, and which, experience has shown, are 
well calculated for the purpose for which they were de- 
signed. The whole establishment is surrounded by a belt 
of forest trees and shrubs, both native and exotic, and these 
again are enclosed by a stone wall, two and an half feet in 
thickness, and seven feet in height. 

As it has always been a primary object of attention to col- 
lect and cultivate in this establishment, the native plants of 
this country, especially such as are possessed of medicinal 
properties, or are otherwise useful, such gardeners as were 
practically acquainted with our indigenous productions, have 
been employed to procure them : how far this end has been 
attained, will be best seen by an examination of the Cata- 
logue. 

Although much has been done by the governments of 
Great-Britain, France, Spain, Sweden, and Germany, in 
the investigation of the vegetable productions of America: 
although much has been accomplished by the labours of 
Catesby, Kalm, Wangenheim, Schoepf, Walter, and the 
Michaux; and by our countrymen Clayton, the Bartrams, 
Colden, Muhlenberg, Marshall, Cutler, and the learned 
Professor Barton of Pennsylvania, much yet remains to be 
done in this western part of the globe. The numerous 
articles of medicine which this country has already fur- 
nished; the variety of soils and climates which it com- 
prehends, encourage the belief, that many more remain to 
be discovered, and that the Materia Medica may still be 
enriched by the addition of many indigenous plants, whose 
* irtues vet remain undiscovered. 



PREFACE. tii 

Another object of importance is, to afford to students of 
medicine, the means of acquiring a knowledge of the natu- 
ral history of plants, and the principles of botanic arrange- 
ment ; a science intimately connected with their profession, 
as it not only enables them to distinguish one plant from 
another, but frequently leads to an acquaintance with their 
medicinal virtues. For this purpose the grounds are di- 
vided into different compartments, calculated to exhibit the 
various plants according to their several properties: and 
these again are so arranged as to afford a practical illustra- 
tion of the systems of botany at present most esteemed, viz. 
the sexual system of Linnceus, and the natural orders of 
Jussieu. 

Hitherto the botanical gardens of Edinburgh, Oxford, 
Cambridge, London, Paris, Copenhagen, Leyden, Upsal, 
Goettengen, &c. have instructed the American youth in 
this department of medical education ; and it is in some 
degree owing to those establishments that the universities 
and colleges of those places have become so celebrated, and 
have been resorted to by students of medicine from all parts 
of the world. 

Since the publication of the first edition of this catalogue, 
in 1806, this institution has been greatly improved, and 
by an act of the Legislature, passed on the 12th day of 
March, 1810, has been purchased by the State for the be- 
nefit of the Medieal Schools of New-York. For informa- 
tion upon this subject the reader is referred to a production 
entitled, « Jl Statement of Facts relative to the Establish- 
ment and Progress of the Elgin Botanic Garden, and the 
subsequent disposal of the same to the State of New-Fork," 
.just published; in which the liberal and enlightened views 
of the Legislature, in making so large and honourable an 
appropriation for the promotion of science are more fully 
exhibited than would be proper upon this occasion. It will 
also be perceived by a comparison of the present with the 
former edition, that very considerable additions have been 
made to the collection both of I be foreign and indigenous

plants contained in that establishment. Gratitude demands 
of me, on this occasion, an acknowledgment of the obli- 
gations I am under to many distinguished botanists, both 
abroad and at home, who have contributed to this institu- 
tion. In this number are to be enumerated my much es- 
teemed and respected frier, 1 and instructor, Dr. James Ed- 
ward Smith, the learned President of the Linnaean Society 
of London; the late Professor Vahl, and Mr. Hoffman 
Bang, of Copenhagen ; Mons. Besfontaines and Thoiiin, 
the celebrated Professors of Botany and Agriculture at the 
Medical Schools of Paris ; Mr. Salisbury, Proprietor of the 
Botanic Garden at Brompton, near London ; the late Dr. 
Fabroni, Director of the Royal Museum of Florence; Dr. 
Bostock, the learned President of the Botanie Institution of 
Liverpool ; Dr. Lettsom, of London ; Dr. Andrew Michaux, 
Editor of the Flora Boreali Americana, and Author of the 
very valuable History of the Forest Trees of North-Ame- 
rica, now publishing at Paris ; my much esteemed friend 
Dr. Alive Raffineau Belile, of the Institute of Egypt ; Dr. 
Alexander Anderson, Superintendant of the Botanic Gar- 
den at St. Vincents ; and Baron Be Schack, of Martinique. 
From these gentlemen I have received many rare botanical 
works, and some of the most valuable plants in this col- 
lection. 

Nor must I be unmindful of the obligations I am under 
to several gentlemen in this country, distinguished for their 
taste and talents in this department of science. The Hon. 
Robert R. Livingston, our former Minister in France ; Pro- 
fessor Mitchill, of this city; John Stevens, Esq. of Ho- 
boken; Mr. Bernard M'Ma hon, of Philadelphia ; Mr. Ste- 
phen Elliot, of Beaufort, South-Carolina ; Dr. Burlington, 
and Mr. John Vaughan, of Pennsylvania; John Le Coule, 
Esq. of Georgia; Mr. William l'rince, of Long-Island ; and 
Mr. Andrew Gentle, seedsman, of this city; are also among 
the contributors to this institution. It is but justice to the 
merit of my nephew, Dr. Caspar Wistav Eddy, a young 
but accurate botanist, to add, that he has largely aug- 



PREFACE, ix 

men*ed tlie collection of American plants, especially of 
those of the island of New-York ; some of which, viz. two 
rew species of Gerardia, were first discovered hy him in 
the vicinity of this city. From my other pupils now indus- 
triously prosecuting the study of botany and medicine, more 
especially Mr. John W. Francis, and Mr. Isaac Roosevelt. 
of this city, and Mr. Robert M. Barclay, of Orange county. 
I also anticipate many fruits of their labours in this depart- 
ment of science. 

It would be injustice to my late gardener, Mr. Frederick 
Pursh, who with a knowledge of the seienee of botany 
unites a very extensive and accurate acquaintance with the 
plants of this country, not to notice the very numerous 
contributions he has made to the collection, of the native 
plants of the United States, during the period he had 
charge of this establishment. The institution is also at 
present, and has been for some months past, in a very 
flourishing condition, under the direction of Mr. Dennison, 
who has been very particularly recommended to me by 
Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, of Hammersmith. The present 
state of the collection is an evidence of his attention and 
skill, and from which I expect great improvements in 
every part of the establishment. 

I avail myself of this occasion to observe, that as soon as 
measures may be taken by the Regents of the University 
for the permanent preservation of the Botanic Garden, it 
is iny intention immediately to commence the publication of 
American Bo taxy, or a Flora of the United States. In 
this work it is my design to give a description of the plant, 
noticing its essential characters, synonyms, and place of 
growth, with observations on the uses to which it is applied 
in medicine, agriculture, or the arts; to be illustrated by a 
coloured engraving, in the same manner in which the plants 
of Great-Britain have been published by Dr. J. E. Smith, 
in his English Botany. Considerable progress has already 
been made in obtaining materials for this publication : many 
of the drawings will be executed by Mr. James Jndenvick, 



x PREFACE. 

a young gentleman of great genius and taste, and others by 
John Le Conte, Esq. whose acquaintance with botany and 
natural history in general will enable him to execute this 
part of the work with great fidelity. In Mr. Pursh, whose 
name has already been mentioned, I shall have a very in- 
dustrious and skilful botanist to collect from different parts 
of the union such plants as have not yet been assembled at 
the Botanic Garden.

Since the foregoing Catalogue has been printed, I have received from that dis- 
tinguished Botanist, M. Thouin, Professor of Agriculture and Botany at Paris, 
a third collection of seeds, amounting to 300 species, of such plants as are not 
contained in this collection. The unceasing exertions of that gentleman, for the 
promotion of science in this country, as well as his own, deserve a greater tri- 
bute of praise than I am able to bestow. 

The improvements which may hereafter take place in this institution, and the 
additions which may be made to the collection of plants, will in future be regu- 
larly published, as an annual report to the Legislature, and the Regents of the 
University. D. H.
